There were a lot of questions in our hearts as a couple that we needed answers to. We were doing well but there were areas that we just saw that we could do better. They were areas we would rather “allow sleeping dogs to lie.” We let it go for the sake of peace. We stopped pushing to make it […]
Last year December (2022), I was at a conference out of town when the Lord gave me instruction to go and raise strong, stable, and stretching disciples. I knew instantly what the Lord was saying (Revelation from God is always a complete communication of His will. When He showed Moses the branch of the tree at the bitter stream, Moses […]
Anytime Irewamiri and I have to take a road trip, we always had a silent desire to travel alone. There are times it is not possible though. Why? It allows us to talk and bond.

The first time I connected with my spiritual father was in 2007. I had invited him to a meeting as a guest minister and he was gracious enough to oblige.

He was the best-graduating student in his department and he was offered both a job and an academic scholarship. He got an unusual counsel from one of the professors in his department.

Some years back, we were in a secondary school get-together. During one of the presentations, a young man and some other folks started laughing. I got angry and told him, “Stop that. These are young ones making an effort.” Recently, he sent me a note saying “thank you” for correcting him that day. He said he did not know why […]
I had the reason to visit someone years ago to iron out a matter and remove all iota of doubt and misunderstanding. I was still quite young in the ministry. When I presented my side of an issue, the response I got shocked me. This dear one looked at me straight in the eyes and said, “We saw your good […]
